The Jubilee season in London, and
the excitement of the public mind
even the Queens iiftieth anniver-
sary OF her reign, are represented by
two articles in the current number of
The Eclectic: victorian Literature"
by Prof. Edward Dowden, and "The
Progress of Thought in Our Time"
by John Arlington Symonds. Both
OF these papers are noteworthy produc-
tons of their brilliant authors. COX
ford in the Middle Ages" by John c..
Brodrick, is peculiarly interesting
study Of university life in the olden
time. Algernon Charles Swinburne
has a powerful poem on the Jubilee,
perhaps the strongest which has yet
been published. Andrew Lang has
some sensible words to say on Literary
Plagiarism and James Keith, in a
paper entitled "Our Great Compel.
itor," studies the future OF the United
States in a'strain of glowing prophecy
Mr.. Gladstone attacks some of the
conclusions in Mr.. Lucky's last vol
ume of England in the Eighteenth
Century with his accustomed elo-
quence of expression.
geterson's Magazine for August is
at hand, in even better season than
usual This second numbtr of the
new volume is fully equal to that OF
July, and to say so is to bestow very
high praise. The steel-plate is charm

Lessons From Old Papers.

Many people take newspapers, but
few preserve them yet the most inter-
esting reading is to be found in a file
OF old newspapers. 1t brings up the
very age, with all its hustle and every
day affairs, and make It's spirit and its
genius more than the labori Gus effort
OF the historian. We cannot take a
paper dated half century ago without
knowing that almost every name then
printed is now cut upon tombstone
at the head of an epitaph. The law
yer that offers his service to plead in
the case of others in the lower court, is
now pleading his OWE in the court
above, the doctor that advertises his
medicines and cures, has followed the
sable train of his patients, the mer
chants who offered his wares cheaper
than the cheapest has gone into ever
lasting liquidation and the actor who
made others laugh and weep, can now
only furnish skull for his successor in
Hamlet.-Ricbnond Independent.

Why Miss CaIisthenics Keeps
Her Good Looks.
Chicago Herald.)

In certain city dwells Il beautiful
woman, great belle. To keep the
suppleness of her figure she stands
one hour daily, fifteen minutes at a
time, with her hands on her hips be-
fore long mirror, and, bending her
knees out from each other, sinks slow
~ down toward the floor as slow as
possible, then again as slowly upris-
ing meantime moving her arms in
any way to their utmost length, out
or up, forward or back, until, when
she stands erect, they are ready to be
placed on her hips again. Each move
ment is repeated, every time a little
accelerated, until at the end of thir-
teen minutes it is done quite quickly
and beautiful color is glowing on her
cheeks. She then lies down until her
breath comes smooth and regular,as it
will in the two minutes left in her
quarter of an hour. To a friend who
asked how she could afford to spend
the time, she replied; when you
and shall be forty-ive shall, for this
reason, be many more years younger
than you than the sum of these hours
of exercise"

Sore Ewes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infamed and sore, It Is
an evidence that the system has become
disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayers
Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
tlammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number Of years. BY the
advice of physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
My eyes are now in splendid condition,
and ] am as well and strong as ever
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, n. II.
For number of years was troubled
with a humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until ! commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine
has effected Il complete cure, and believe
it to be the best of blood purifiers. -
c. E. Upton, Nashua, N. II.
From childhood, and until within few
months, | have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. | have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results, Ayers
Sarsaparila, and consider it great blood
purifier. - Mrs. c. Phillips, Glover, VT
/ suffered for a year with infamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, deprivmg me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, was finally
induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla, and,
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine, have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of inflamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eve. - Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
Ny daughter, ten years old, was afflicted
with ScrOfulous Sore Eyes. During the
last two years she never saw light of any
kind. Physicians of the highest standing
exerted their skill, but with no permanent
success. On the recommendation of a
friend | purchased bottle of Ayers Sar-
saparilla, which my daughter commenced
taking. Before she had used the third
bottle her sight was restored, and she can
now look steadily at a brilliant light with
out pain. Her cure is complete. w Il.

was adopted by a majority of only seven.
The 'cradle of liberty was first built two
stories high, forty feet wide and 100 feet in
length. 1t was nearly destroyed by fire in
1861, and in 1905 it was enlarged to eighty
feet in width and twenty feet greater eleva-
ton. The hall has never been let for money,
but is at the disposal of the people whenever
n sufficient number of persons, complying
with certain regulations, ask to nave it
opened. The city charter contains . provis-
ion forbidding the sale or lease of the proper
ty. Until 1922, eighty years after its cree
ton, all town meetings were held within its
walls.
Tn. gallery is the only portion of the build
ing provided with seats. Portraits cover the
walls, among them Herly's picture of Web.
ster replying to Hayne, portraits of the two
Adamses, Gen. Warren, Commodore Preble,
Edward Everett, Washington, Lincoln, and
Governor Andrew.
The site for this building was reclaimed
from the tide waters and $3.50, 900 was ex-
pended in the erection of Faneuil Hall market,
or Quincy market, as it is often called, from
the fact that the market grew out of a re
comniendation by Mayor Quincy in 1923.
Tn capital for its construction was so judi
ciously managed that not only the market
was built at the expense named, but six new
streets were opened and a seventh enlarged
without city tax or increase of the city's
debt.
Fnneuil hall was used as a theatre during
the British occupation of Boston in IT'S. In
revolutionary times it was the usual place of
meeting of the patriots, from which it gained
the name of the Cradle of American Liberty.
The part played by Faneuil hall in the re-
cent celebration of the queens jubilee at Bos-
ton is already known to our readers.

Governor Thomas Moonlight, accom-
panied by Judge Miller, arrived here yes

by ambulances and brought through in

number of citizens, officials and ladies met

immense crowd assembled. Speeches
were made by Gen. Brisbin, Governor
Moonlight, Judge Blair and others, after
which the governor shook hands with
nearly 1000 people.
